Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination oral contraceptive containing norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol. Norethindrone acetate is a progestin that suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation; ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen that provides feedback inhibition of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), preventing follicular development and ovulation. Additionally, it causes changes in cervical mucus (increased viscosity) and endometrium (reduced receptivity).
Combination hormonal contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses LH and FSH, primarily inhibiting ovulation; drospirenone is a progestin with anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic activity, increasing cervical mucus viscosity and altering endometrial morphology.
One tablet orally once daily at the same time each day for 28 consecutive days.
One tablet orally once daily for 24 days followed by 4 placebo tablets. Each tablet contains 75 mcg desogestrel and 0.02 mg ethinyl estradiol.

Norethindrone: 5-14 hours (terminal); Ethinyl estradiol: 10-20 hours (terminal). Steady-state achieved within 5-7 days; contraceptive efficacy maintained with daily dosing.
Drospirenone: ~30 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: ~17 hours. Steady-state reached after ~10 days for drospirenone.
Renal: ~50-60% as metabolites, <10% unchanged; Fecal: ~40-50% via bile; Ethinyl estradiol undergoes enterohepatic recirculation.
Drospirenone: 40-50% renal as metabolites, <10% unchanged; ~50% fecal. Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, 60% fecal.
